    sums up the whole thread with that comment lol

    not to mention that if LTT can't get it fixed with all their influence and resources, what chances does the average guy have at getting this fixed?

    Apple care doesnt cover accidental damage so he'd be in the same boat just out more money.

    lmao

    If I understood the video correctly, apple wasn't just refusing to fix it. Third party repair joints couldn't even fix it because they order their parts through apple who cant ship the parts because noone is certified yet to fix it.... so in my opinion Linus has every reason to be P.O'd the thing costs $5000..

    EVGA mailed my replacement graphics card the day they received mine, turnaround was like 7-10 days. So no waiting for a repair. You should have sent it.

Should give a rough idea of a latest i5 build. The 3gb 1060 will do ok for 1080p gaming. You might want to consider an APU build which Im sure someone who knows more will suggest.

    I wouldn't say its completely irrelevent, it gives you an idea based on a standardized test based on hundreds of systems. Statistically its good data. edit: I just watched a comparison video. Big difference. Go 1070

    I would say no, your going from a 6 core 12 thread i7 processor to the older style 4 core 8 thread i7. The 8000 series from intel is much better than the 7000 series from what I've read.

    To improve overall memory performance. Dual channels allow the memory controller to communicate with two DIMMs at the same time, effectively doubling the speed of memory access. Higher bandwith doesn't necessarily mean higher speeds but, generally speaking it is a rare case where you get something better for (usually) cheaper. Just make sure to get a kit with matching ram to make dual channeling work properly.
  13. AntiTrust
    why single channel ram? I'd go 2 x 8 gb if I were you. Specs are great though.
  14. AntiTrust
    I dont mean to be an elitist but these specs (dual core 2ghz w/ no turbo boost, 4gb of ram and disk drive) are just going to be slow. You can do the upgrades above to help improve the general snappyness or try to return and get something better.

    yeah agreed, its probably new PSU time. the best PSU's are probably only good for about 10 years. someone showed me this handy tier list for PSU;s the other day, have a look, itll probably help with picking a good brand/model. Personally id look at a new case too. if you only build computers every decade you might as well go all out right? live a little.
  16. AntiTrust
    this is out of my textbook for a computer hardware class I took a few years ago. just clip to the case and youll be fine @ivanteng880

    if you have an Antistatic strap thats great and you should use it, but just keep in mind that many if not most people safely build computers without them just by being careful with their components (ie only touching around the edges, periodically grounding yourself by touching metal, not touching connectors on gpu and ram etc) if you have a wrist strap, definitely use it, but also practice safe component handling and youll do fine. enjoy the build
  18. AntiTrust
    yeah this, if you want to get creative you could try getting a decent 4 pin fan, connecting it to a spare CPU fan slot and figuring out a way to have it throttle up when you gpu heats up. Never tried it but I bet there is a way
  19. AntiTrust
    what model AIO do you have?
  20. AntiTrust
    it will affect your loading time pretty bad but gaming should work fine. if you already have an external hd, I would try that before buying anything. SSD in an enclosure would be faster than spinning disk but limited by USB connection, thunderbolt would be the best.
  21. AntiTrust
    does your blade have thunderbolt 3?
  22. AntiTrust
    pretty damn sexy I agree
  23. AntiTrust
    i5 8600K done
  24. AntiTrust
    Ti Ti Ti Ti all the way
  25. AntiTrust
    yeah go for it,
